If he fails to KO Jake Paul, Tommy Fury will immediately retire from boxing: John Fury

Jake Paul was recently invited to fight Tommy Fury on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk by the heavyweight king himself. Fury will most likely fight Usyk in March 2023, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

John Fury, father of both Tyson and Tommy Fury, has been known to make outlandish and bold claims. His eccentric nature has recently led him to make arguably his most audacious claim yet.

According to John Fury, if Tommy fights 'The Problem Child' and doesn't KO the former YouTuber, he will retire his son from boxing immediately.

The Fury family are from a Gypsy bloodline, and fighting is part of their heritage. During a recent interview with FairBettingSites, Fury said this about a possible boxing match between his son and Paul:

"If Tommy can't knock Jake Paul out, I'll retire Tommy from boxing straight after... Tommy can punch as hard as a heavyweight. But can we actually get Jake in the ring?… If Tommy does not dismantle him, I'll retire him then and there. I mean that."

See the tweet below:

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are longtime rivals, and the pair have been scheduled to fight on numerous occasions.

The Englishman has been refused entry to America due to family ties with crime boss Daniel Kinahan. 'The Problem Child' has offered to travel to the UK to make the fight happen in early 2023, but nothing has been confirmed.

Paddy Pimblett threatens to assault Jake Paul if he shows up to UFC 282

Paddy Pimblett and Jake Paul have gone back-and-forth online in recent weeks, with 'The Problem Child' challenging Pimblett to a 'sparring match' in Puerto Rico.

Paul's challenge came in the wake of fight-fixing allegations made by 'The Baddy' regarding the YouTuber's recent boxing match with Anderson Silva. 'The Problem Child' offered Pimblett $1 million to take him on in a sparring session.

But 'The Baddy' has stated that he won't play by Jake Paul's rules, and the sparring session will have to take place on Pimblett's terms.

In the build-up to Paddy Pimblett's fight this weekend at UFC 282 against Jared Gordon, he was interviewed by Daniel Cormier. 'The Baddy' claimed that if he crosses paths with Paul at UFC 282 this weekend, he will slap him:

"If he's at the show on Saturday and I walk past him, I'll just go WHAAP [slaps his hand]... I can assault people, and I'll assault him."
